    MD/DC/VA meet May 27th, lets pick a place!

    Yeah, sorry I didn't post about it...with all the thunderstorms around the country I've been pulling serious OT at the airport. Wish I had Internet access there. Yeah...just three of us. It was nice to get out though!

    MD/DC/VA meet May 27th, lets pick a place!

    I got a few responses, so I'm going to leave in 15 or 20 minutes...I have a semi-long ride. See ya around 8!

    MD/DC/VA meet May 27th, lets pick a place!

    I just finished washing my car, and re-read the thread. Friday's in Rockville seems to be the most popular option - and we can always go to a few of the other hangouts nearby afterwards, too. Friday's in Rockville at 8 anybody? I don't want to drive an hour and fifteen minutes if nobody...

    MD/DC/VA meet May 27th, lets pick a place!

    I'm down for meeting - but it's already 3 and there isn't a consensus. I don't mind driving anywhere that doesn't require Route 50 East. Memorial Day Weekend + Bay Bridge = eww. Last week it was backed up for 20 miles to Bowie . But, since Rockville/Columbia is West of me, I have no...

    Do rear end gears add to your HP #'s on a Dyno?

    spederman - do you have an automatic? They lose more through the drivetrain than a manual transmission does.

    12.5s, what do I need to do to get there?

    First of all, I never said ANYTHING about racing from a stop vs racing from a roll. I just said that peak HP vs. torque and traction is not as black and white as you were making it out to be, but maybe you don't communicate well. I'm also honestly starting to wonder if you've ever seen a power...

    ANy idea how to cover up/get rid of the license plate wholes in the front?

    In a lot of states, the front plate is not required (the somewhat shaky logic being: who can read it when you're moving?), like Connecticut where I lived a while back. Maryland (where I live now) does require the front tag. Looking at it from a law enforcement perspective, I think I'd rather...

    My car is F'ED UP!

    Man...I wish I had nothing to do on the weekends. ;) I'm not trying to personally attack you or anything...but really, go to the gym, learn martial arts, heck - go fishing or something. Life is short...I try to be as productive or constructive as possible. But then again, I do go out for a...

    tire advice

    I had Kumhos on my IROC that I was really happy with...but kiss them goodbye 10-15k miles later. I bought my Mustang about two months ago, and it had brand spankin' new BFG G-forces on them. They are awesome. Really. My IROC was lower and wider, but my Mustang handles way better...

    12.5s, what do I need to do to get there?

    Alright...I admit that I wanted to be a little bit harsher. ;) Thanks for saying some of that stuff for me! :nice: P.S. I forgot to mention also that this thread is really to help Tyler (tvanlant), and that's one of the reasons I restrained from the flames. I wasn't given this handle by...

    I like loud. :D I just have to have something that's not defeaning at idle. I do appreciate the offer, but that's not necessary - it's probably way out of the way. Arnold is off of US Route 50, in between the Annapolis exits and the Bay Bridge. I may be going to the Ford Fun Weekend in...

    I've made plans to go to Capitol this Friday. The only reason I won't would be the weather. Right now they're saying scattered T-storms in the afternoon (squall line), then rain overnight (front). However, as the date usually gets closer, the forecast changes. By Thursday I should know...and...

    12.5s, what do I need to do to get there?

    May I first say that I have absolutely no desire to start a flame war. I have moderated forums in the past, and they suck. </disclaimer> Secondly, hotmustang, you seem to have this black and white view of racing. It's not all torque & launch vs. horsepower. What is key is your power curve...

    Sorry I didn't end up going. I couldn't find anybody to go, and since I've been out of the loop up there for a year or so, going by myself can get boring. Also, John (jbp99cobra), I've been looking into getting the Magnapacks. How loud are they? I used to have Borla on my IROC and I think...

    Actually, tomorrow just opened up for me (5/13) and I'm thinking about going up to Capitol. Anybody interested? I know it's short notice.

    Slow

    I know I'm knew here, but I live for car meets/cruises/etc. Hopefully I will have the Internet at work in a few weeks...I work at BWI and I'm in the only friggin room in the airport that can't get a wireless signal. We open the new Alpha pier on the 18th...and my office moves there. I'll be a...

    I'm all for meeting up too. I'm a full time student, and work six days a week - but I managed to get Friday's completely off. I'm at Capitol about every other week, but it varies...as for this Friday, I'll be at Langley AFB (VA), so I won't be able to make it to Capitol. I think I'm going on...

    My name is Matt and I live a few miles outside of Annapolis, MD; about a mile from Anne Arundel Community College (where I have been going for five years :shrug: ). I work at BWI Airport, so I usually cruise in the Glen Burnie or Annapolis areas. I just bought my Mustang (it's a black 2000...
